Chapter 1524: Chapter 1514: Crime Scene

K was already intimately familiar with everything here. He knew that after going out and taking the fifth door to the right, he would reach Jiang Cheng’s room. However, he would first have to pass by a surveillance camera. This area had no blind spots, and he had to cut the power to this camera. Otherwise, his image would be recorded, and he wouldn’t be able to continue lurking here in the future.

K took out his phone and dialed a number, then put the phone away and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It turned out that K had tampered with the camera’s wiring during the day. Using his phone, he created a small circuit breaker. As soon as he made the call, the camera had already been disabled.

K slowly peeked over, and had already produced a slender wire in his hand. He found that there wasn’t a single person in the entire hallway. K gently and quickly dashed to the door of Jiang Cheng’s room, inserted the wire into the lock hole, turned it lightly, and the lock opened. K then slowly pushed open the door, found no disturbances, and swiftly slipped into the room, closing the door behind him.

At this moment, K found Jiang Cheng much like he had expected, taking a shower. Because the light was on in the bathroom, he could vaguely see a naked man swinging and singing inside.

K thought to himself, "About to die, yet still singing. Well, I’ll let you die happy like this. After all, it’s a joyous occasion in life."

K drew his pistol, gripping it tightly in his hand, moving closer and closer to Jiang Cheng. His heartbeat grew louder, yet Jiang Cheng still sung out fearlessly.

Just two meters away from the bathroom now. All he needed was one hand to open the door and another to pull the trigger. Jiang Cheng was certain to die, victory was in sight, K’s lips curled into a smile.

Suddenly, there came banging sounds at the door. K had no time to hesitate. He turned his head and saw a wardrobe, quickly went over, and climbed inside. Here the wardrobe was full of clothes. K hid behind them, flattened his breathing and tried to calm himself down, for only by doing so could he hide effectively. And merged with the environment of the Zhou District to not be detected by others.

This was a kind of Ninja Art, the highest realm is to merge with Nature itself. Even if someone were to pass right by, they would still not notice his presence.

Jiang Cheng was mid-shower when he heard the knock on the door and shouted irritably, "Who is it? Couldn’t you have come at a better time? I’m bathing here!"

"You hurry up, get dressed and open the door. I have something important to tell you." Jiang Cheng recognized it was Mole’s voice, and from the urgency of it, it seemed to be something severe. Otherwise, Mole wouldn’t be so breathless and nervous.

Jiang Cheng quickly rinsed off and got dressed in a bathrobe, then walked straight out of the bathroom and went to the door to open it.

Mole entered, sat down on the sofa, and said, "It’s bad, that boy absorbing ink has died." Mole’s expression was very serious.

"What? How could it be? Who found them?" Jiang Cheng was extremely surprised, as the child was entrusted to Zhang Lin at his place.

"I don’t know that either, the situation is still under investigation," Mole responded.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng’s phone rang. He picked it up, saw it was Zhang Lin, and answered, "Hello! Zhang Lin, I was just about to call you."

"Jiang Cheng, listen, the child was with my mom. My mom was doing household chores, looked back, and found the kid dead. My mom was also scared to death," Zhang Lin’s voice was trembling, a bit choked.

"Are the others alright? What about your child?" Jiang Cheng hurriedly asked, knowing Zhang Lin also has a child. Could it have been a mix-up? "My child was taken outside the district by my husband a few days ago." Jiang Cheng said, "I got it, I’ll take someone to investigate this case right away." With that, he hung up the phone.

"Mole, go about your business. I’ll find someone to investigate this matter with me later, you don’t need to worry about it," Jiang Cheng instructed Mole.

"Alright, then I’ll leave, take care," Mole turned and left Jiang Cheng’s room, shutting the door behind him.

Jiang Cheng went to the wardrobe, took out a few clothes, then closed the door again. Meanwhile, K kept his eyes shut, held his breath, remained still. But the barrel of the gun in his hand was aimed at the wardrobe door. If Jiang Cheng discovered him, he’d have to shoot to protect himself, even if it meant exposing himself.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng didn’t find K. K stayed safe and sound hiding in the wardrobe, feeling that his Ninja Art had greatly improved.

Jiang Cheng put on his clothes, grabbed his belongings, walked out, locked the door, and went to Wang Hua’s room. He knocked for a long time but no one opened the door. Calling, the phone seemed to be off.

Jiang Cheng wondered where Wang Hua could have gone, the lights in the room were on, yet no one was inside. Little did Jiang Cheng know that he narrowly escaped death from Wang Hua’s gun. In fact, Wang Hua was K among the enemies, carrying yet another identity of Wang Hua.

On the highway, an SUV with sleek lines sped along. The person inside pursed their thin lips into a line, eyes focused on the road conditions, overtaking continuously. The car tires screeched sharply against the asphalt during abrupt turns.

Just then, the phone placed in the glove compartment rang unexpectedly. Few people knew this number.

K frowned, freed a hand to open the compartment, took out the phone, and without checking, answered it. The car sped relentlessly on the road.

"Hello?"

"Wang Hua, where are you now?" Jiang Cheng’s slightly deep voice crackled through the phone, carrying a texture hard to describe.

K’s foot on the accelerator paused momentarily, then looked up with slightly darkened eyes, "I’m at the facility, is there a problem?"

"But you sound more like you’re on the highway, I hear car horns," Jiang Cheng expressed disbelief, questioning him.

K chuckled twice, though there was no warmth in his eyes, "This facility is very close to the highway, so it’s normal to hear car horns."

Even though Jiang Cheng didn’t believe Wang Hua, he couldn’t question further after hearing his explanation, "I’m alright, hanging up."

After that, there was just busy signal noise.

K tossed the phone onto the passenger seat with some force, with anger between his eyes.

Jiang Cheng had already begun to boldly suspect him. The recent phone call was the best proof of it. He knew, Jiang Cheng certainly didn’t believe him.

Thinking about this, K couldn’t suppress the irritation pounding in his chest, he yanked at his dark-colored tie.

Driving towards Jiang Cheng’s location.

Jiang Cheng and Mu Yu were at the crime scene. On the ground, there was the chalk outline of the corpse remaining. None of the items at the scene had been altered or removed.

The authorities had already sent people for a thorough inspection, yet they found nothing. The dead was positioned right at the federal junction, "Mu Yu, lie down according to the chalk outline," Jiang Cheng said casually, his tone unbothered, as if explaining tomorrow’s weather forecast.

Mu Yu waved his hand indignantly, absolutely unwilling in his heart, "If I lie down like this, I’ll ruin the crime scene. Besides, the deceased was a two-year-old child, there’s too much of a difference Jiang Cheng," he protested.

"The authorities have already been here, and nobody asked you to do anything. You might just smudge the chalk a bit, what’s so destructive about that? Moreover, aren’t we all humans?"

A tone of mockery.
